True:  The Declaration of Independence speaks of a Divine Creator.

True:  The Declaration of the Rights of Man speaks of a Supreme Being.

True:  Both documents drew on the natural law philosophy of John Locke.


Some additional details about the "Divine Creator" and "Supreme Being" distinction:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously asserted, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  America's founding fathers tended to speak in religious terms associated with the Christian tradition, even though a number of them were more like Deists in their own beliefs.  Deists believe that there is a God who created the world, but set it up to run by natural laws and did not intervene in a personal way in its operation.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789) was less overt in ascribing the rights of human beings to God as Creator.  That declaration of the French Revolution stated, "The National Assembly recognizes and proclaims, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following rights of man and of the citizen."  They were taking using more overtly Deist language, acknowledging a Supreme Being that was the reasonable force governing all things, but seeing human beings in society granting rights according to the actions of a just government.

Relations between Cuba and the Soviet Union were on shaky ground. The Cuban Missile Crisis comes to an end. The Cuban Missile crisis comes to a close as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agrees to remove Russian missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise from the United States to respect Cuba’s territorial sovereignty. This ended nearly two weeks of anxiety and tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union that came close to provoking a nuclear conflict. The consequences of the crisis were many and varied. Relations between Cuba and the Soviet Union were on shaky ground for some time after Khrushchev’s removal of the missiles, as Fidel Castro accused the Russians of backing down from the Americans and deserting the Cuban revolution. European allies of the United States were also angered, not because of the U.S. stance during the crisis, but because the Kennedy administration kept them virtually in the dark about negotiations that might have led to an atomic war. Inside the Soviet Union, hardened for less than a year after the crisis ended the United States and Soviet Union.

Progressive reformers tried to remedy problems created by _____________ and urbanization through political action.
Lelechka [254]
The correct answer is industrialization.

During the early 20th century, industrialization was growing rapidly in America. This meant more factories, consumer goods, and workers needed to produce goods.

 Due to industrialization, many American citizens worked in factories for long hours and under unsafe working conditions. American citizens during this time work as many as 60 hours per week and worked 6 days a week. This result of industrialization caught the attention of the Progressive party members, as they wanted to make working conditions better for the average American citizen.
